Num Pages: 312 pages. BIC Classification: JMC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 230 x 152 x 24. Weight in Grams: 458.

Reviews for Hide Seek
"Brilliantly exposes the way that Victorian/modern fantasy, 'the child,' has been made to serve so many needs and stand for so many 'truths.' ... Forces us into genuinely profound and darkly uncomfortable areas of speculation."
